How many hands before you classify villian as a TAG?

[Game_On]

I'm a party 10 tabler so I rely pretty heavily on stats since I'm going to miss a lot of hands villian showsdown with others...(notes)

Often I'll see a player with 17/10 type stats and think hes a TAG but my data is limited to only 1xx hands (sometimes a lil less, sometimes a lil more) so I end up making incorrect folds like AQo to his raise only to be shown that he raised in EP with QJs or KJo etc. This also applies to postflop..(ie getting 3betted on a flop thinkng my kicker/hand is no longer good)

So how many hands do you think are necessary to classify someone as a TAG?

Oh yeah one more thing....I see this "FWIW" on the forum alot....anyone mind telling me what it stands for? thx

50 to 100 is usually more then enough to get a rough idea of what type of opponent you're up against.
From my experience tight players rarely loosen up much after 100 hands, on the other hand loose players do occasionally seem to ratchet down more often though.
If you can note a few of the hands that they are raising with pre flop you might be able to use that in conjunction with PT stats to better classify them.

I need 50 for a TAG and 100 for a LAG.

However - I'm a 17% VPIPer and have played over 30% over 100 hands easy!

FWIW: For what it's worth.

FWIW: I use 100 hands enough for VPIP and PFR. 500 for post flop aggression. 1000 for folds on each street.
